That depends on your definition of “safe.” Many freezer bags are BPA-free, so they are safe in that regard. Some folks don’t like wet ingredients/foods to be stored in plastic due to concerns about what is in plastic, so there’s that. For most folks, though, plastic freezer bags are considered very safe and convenient. If you happen to be using them for dry ingredients (baking mixes and whatnot), they are also reusable — just shake out &/or rinse, let dry, and they are ready to go again.

My first freezer chopping/planning day and I feel so upbeat and accomplished-yay!! I do have a question on the Red Freezer Meats Sauce. In the first cooking if Im not using the Italian sausages and will be using various meats with sauce later, do I still cook it for 4 hours anyway or only 2? And do I need to use the sausage for correct flavoring?? Thanks.
